Overview
Moving from Azor to Trello is a structural simplification in most directions because both platforms use a board-list-card mental model, but Azor's complete lack of a public API means we cannot pull data programmatically. We rely on CSV exports from individual project views and screen-based sampling to scope the migration, which extends discovery time compared to API-driven migrations. We map Azor Projects directly to Trello Boards, flatten Azor Tasks to individual Cards without a sub-task equivalent in Azor, translate Azor Tags to Trello Labels, and preserve user assignments and due dates. Azor does not expose Comments or Attachments in any documented export format; we flag this data gap in the pre-migration checklist and recommend manual export before the engagement begins. Trello's free plan limits Workspaces to 10 collaborators, so any team larger than that requires an immediate Standard upgrade. Automations, Butler rules, and any workflow logic are not migrated as code; we deliver a written board-structure inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Azor object lands in Trello, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Azor
Project
Trello
Board
1:1Azor Projects map 1:1 to Trello Boards. The project name becomes the board title, and the project description migrates to the board description field. We create one board per Azor project during the import phase. If the customer uses Azor project groups or folder labels, we map those as board tags or Workspace-level organization. Trello boards must be created inside a Workspace; we confirm the target Workspace during scoping.
Azor
Task
Trello
Card
1:1Azor Tasks map 1:1 to Trello Cards. The task title becomes the card name, the task description migrates to the card description field, and due dates transfer directly in ISO 8601 format. Azor does not support sub-tasks, so every task in Azor becomes one card without nested hierarchy. We do not create Trello Checklist items from Azor data because Azor has no sub-task or checklist concept. Tasks with no assignee are created as unassigned cards; tasks with no due date are created without a due date field.
Azor
Task Status
Trello
List
lossyAzor uses a fixed set of statuses per project (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done). We map each distinct Azor status value to a Trello List within the target board. We create the lists in order during board setup before card import begins. Any non-standard or customer-specific statuses are flagged during scoping and mapped manually to an appropriate Trello list name.
Azor
User
Trello
Member
1:1Azor user display names and email addresses map to Trello Member profiles. We match by email during migration. Trello members must exist in the target Workspace before they can be assigned to cards; we extract the full user list from Azor during scoping and confirm that each user has a Trello account or will be provisioned before card import. Role or permission levels from Azor are not exposed and cannot be migrated.
Azor
Tag
Trello
Label
1:1Azor tags map to Trello Labels within each board. We extract tags as a comma-separated string or array from Azor CSV exports and translate them to Trello Label names. We create labels in the target board before card import so that label assignment is valid at insert time. Labels that do not exist are created during import. Trello's free plan supports unlimited labels per board.
Azor
Due Date
Trello
Due Date
1:1Azor task due dates migrate directly to Trello card due dates in ISO 8601 format. Tasks with no due date are imported without a due date field. We do not manipulate or recalculate dates during migration. Trello due dates display as date badges on cards and support due date reminders on Standard and Premium plans.
Azor
Task Assignment
Trello
Card Member Assignment
1:1Azor tasks are assigned to a single user at a time. We map the Azor assignee to the Trello card member field. If the assignee email does not resolve to a Trello member in the target Workspace, the card is created without a member assignment and flagged for manual resolution. Multi-user assignments from the source system are not supported because Azor does not allow multiple assignees per task.
Azor
Comments
Trello
None
1:1Azor does not expose comments in any documented export format. We cannot migrate comments programmatically. The pre-migration checklist requires the customer to acknowledge this data gap and, if comments are critical, to export them manually from Azor before the engagement begins. Trello card comments cannot be populated from the Azor source because the source data is inaccessible via API or CSV.
Azor
Attachments
Trello
None
1:1Azor does not expose file attachments in any documented export format. We do not migrate attachments. Customers who need attachment history are advised to download files from Azor manually before migration and re-upload them to the corresponding Trello cards post-migration. Trello supports up to 10MB per file on the free plan and larger limits on Standard and Premium.
Azor
Custom Fields
Trello
Custom Fields
lossyAzor does not document a custom field layer. Any customer-specific attributes stored in Azor text fields or notes must be identified during scoping and manually mapped to Trello Custom Fields (available on Standard and above) or stored as card labels, checklist items, or description text. We request the customer provide a field map before import to reduce rework. Trello Custom Fields Power-Up must be enabled on the target board before migration begins.
Azor
Project Groups or Workspaces
Trello
Workspace
1:1Azor uses a simple project list hierarchy with no Workspace-level container. We map each Azor project to a Trello board within a single target Workspace or split across multiple Workspaces as directed by the customer during scoping. If the customer has more than one Azor project group that logically maps to separate Trello Workspaces, we create those Workspaces and distribute boards accordingly.
Azor
Time Tracking
Trello
None
1:1Azor does not expose a time-tracking object or time-entry records in any documented export format. We do not migrate time data. Trello does not have a native time-tracking object; teams requiring time tracking use Power-Ups like Clockify or TimeCamp.

Migration approach
Discovery and CSV extraction
We audit the Azor environment by reviewing all accessible project views, identifying the full project list, task counts, distinct status values, user list, and tag taxonomy. Because Azor has no API, we work with CSV exports from individual project views and screen-based sampling. We recommend the customer exports CSV files for their top-priority projects before engagement kickoff to accelerate scoping. We produce a written migration scope document listing all projects, estimated task counts, and any data gaps (comments, attachments, custom attributes) before proceeding.
Trello Workspace and board setup
We create the target Trello Workspace and configure the board structure. Each Azor project becomes a Trello board. We configure lists within each board to match the Azor status values, create labels that correspond to Azor tags, and enable the Custom Fields Power-Up on each board if the customer has custom attributes to migrate. We confirm the Trello plan level (Free, Standard, Premium) against the collaborator count to ensure the free-plan collaborator limit is not exceeded before board creation begins.
Test migration to Trello sandbox
We run a test migration using the Azor CSV exports into a Trello sandbox Workspace or a test board. We validate that task titles, descriptions, due dates, assignee mappings, and label translations appear correctly in Trello. We reconcile record counts between the Azor source CSV and the imported Trello cards. The customer reviews the test output and confirms the mapping before we schedule the production migration. Any mapping corrections, label name adjustments, or list ordering changes happen in this phase.
User provisioning confirmation
We extract every distinct Azor user and match by email against the target Trello Workspace member list. Any Azor user without a matching Trello member account is flagged for the customer to provision before production migration. We do not create Trello accounts on behalf of the customer. The Workspace must have all active team members added before card import so that member assignments are valid at insert time.
Production migration in dependency order
We execute the production migration in three phases. Phase one creates all boards and configures lists and labels. Phase two imports tasks as cards in dependency order, assigning members, due dates, descriptions, and labels from the Azor CSV data. Phase three runs a validation pass, reconciling record counts between the Azor source and the Trello destination, spot-checking a random sample of 25-50 cards for accuracy, and confirming that no board exceeds the free-plan collaborator limit.
Cutover and rebuild handoff
We disable write access to the Azor environment or confirm with the customer that they have frozen writes. We run a final reconciliation comparing total task counts, user assignments, and due date coverage in Trello against the Azor source. We deliver the board structure inventory document to the customer's admin, including a list of any Azor automation logic (none exists natively, but any customer-documented workflow intent is captured here) and Trello Butler rule recommendations. We support a one-week post-migration window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Butler rules or Power-Up automations as part of the migration scope.
